Acorn House is a purpose-built residential care home in the community of Carrington, Nottingham, and specialises in dementia care. The spacious interiors and homely decorations complement the work of professional carers and create a calming, homely atmosphere.
Ensuite rooms and landscaped gardens delight residents and their families, and they also have an on-site cafe to enjoy. Health and wellbeing are a priority, and the Activities Coordinators work with residents and families to develop an exciting programme of activities and events tailored to personal interests.
Residents and staff go out into the community, and the community is invited into the home, to build positive relationships and enable social inclusion for residents. They also offer many intergenerational activities so residents can engage with all age groups, from toddlers to college students.
All care is delivered in a bespoke way, with passion, empathy, and enthusiasm at the centre of every decision. Carers understand the importance of person-centred care, and the residents' needs and preferences are placed at the centre of their care.
Acorn House provides choices at mealtimes for all residents and takes great pride in the dining experience. The kitchen team takes personal preferences and nutritional needs into account and works hard to offer a wide range of healthy, tasty options for residents.

Mum has been at Acorn House for two years. She was transferred to the home at short notice having been given 48hrs to move from a previous home.

Staff and management team are attentive to residents' needs, inc. those of my mother. Activities team members accede to my mother's wishes not to participate, so give her preference in visits to cafes and restaurants. Overall, I am perfectly happy for my mother to reside at Acorn House.

Welcome to Acorn House!
I have been working in the sector for the past 20 years following the death of my father in 2001. While he was receiving palliative care at home I have been looking after him. My passion was always in care and making a difference no matter how big or small it was. After spending 12 years in 24-hour nursing care, I decided to move to residential care.
I came to work for Acacia Care 7 years ago and I have held many positions within the company from Night Manager, Care Manager, Home Manager and Regional Support Manager to my now current role as General Manager. I feel very honoured and privileged to have been given this opportunity to manage Acorn House and I hope my work and the work of the team will make a difference in the lives of our residents and their families.
